Coming out of dreams
coming out of the telephone receiver
coming out of friendly visits
their smiles and clear eyes
while the news changes every day
the fire place is dark and cold
but someone (an angel?)
will come and light it soon
coffee will be bubbling
through the brewer soon
tea will be darkening
in the pot
bread in the toaster
and butter in the dish
will meet and melt
together somewhere
then an announcer
on CBC radio
will broadcast
today's weather.
Things will go right
and things will go wrong
and your beloved
will put their arms around you
and the light will get lighter
until evening
when it gets darker
I pray that if you don't have these things
the angels will agitate for you.
